ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, VA (Rocktown Now) — Country artist and Shenandoah Valley native Spencer Hatcher has cancelled his upcoming fair shows.

The shows include the Rockingham County Fair which is scheduled to take place next week and the VOA Country Music Festival in Butler County, Ohio on Friday.

In a post on Facebook, Hatcher said, “it is with a heavy heart and overwhelming sadness that – due to a monumental loss in our family – I must cancel my upcoming shows.” He added he hopes to make up the shows sometime in the future and thanked everyone for their support.

The post comes after news that Spencer’s parents, Michael and Holly Hatcher, were involved in a home invasion that left his mother with fatal injuries.
